Brooch and Bar Pins.

The brooch or round pin is fast gaining
popularity; indeed, it is now the most fash
ionabIe form of neck pins made, although the
lace or bar pin--as the long pin is variously
termed--s also in style. A pin to be called
brooch nowadays need not conform TO any
regular size or form, so long as it is short and
broad rather than bar shaped it is brooch.
In our illustration we give three popular pat
terms in neck pins, two being brooches and
one regular bar pin.

ANOTHER BAD NIGHT.

There are some yachtsmen who maintain
that to heave to in gale of wind is never

greater than that of scudding. However
that may be, the danger Of heaving to is

Old Time Greu.ome Memorials.

Of these grewsome memorials were ii.

made of hair, was represented mourning
ut a grave made Of hair, under a hairy
weeping willow. Sometimes even The
sky and the distant landscape (which in
variably included a church and u very
proper path leading straight 10 ITS door
were also constructed Of the same ma
terial. At others they were limned upon
the card board with water colors.
Watch guards, necklaces, a rings and
brooches were also made of hair, and the
business of contriving these devices must
have been an active one.
The introduction Of the mortuary pho

wall, but the species is by no means cx-

The cost of the royal theatres in Ber-
lin, including the opera house. during the
past twelve months, has reached the UNI
OF $500, 900 marks. The cmpcror's
yearly contribution out of his rrivy purse
is $50, 600 marks: but in addition to this
lac also pays the deficit, which is very
considerable. The non-rCmunerative
portions Of the royal theatre system are
the opera and the ballet. The legitimate
stage always yields a handsome surplus.
All the members of the royal family
have their boxes. for which they rcgu-
larry pay the due annual rent, although
some of them do not once enter the the
aires during the season. For every
special imperial performance the EN-
peror invariably pays the whole cost.
These performances take place nj the
visits Of foreign princes TO Berlin, great
parades and public celebrations. The
failure of the opera TO pay its way is due
in great part TO the tremendous wages If
singing folk. Herr Niemann. the tenor,
has to appear for forty-eiGht evenings
during six months, and for each evening
he has an honorarium of $50 marks.
This equals 80, 200 marks a year.--New

Ancient Egyptian Perfumes.

Two ancient Egyptian perfumes have
been reconstructed through the researches
of a French professor at Lyons, who has
devoted himself TO studying the Egyptian
sculpture and the plants Of the Nile val
ley. BY hunting through the papyrus
texts and the inscriptions on the walls of
the temple lavatories he has found the
recipes for the manufacture Of .'tasi'' and
''kyphi." The former was a temple per-
fume, used to anoint the statue of the
Egyptian Venus. ''Kyphi' was more
important, and besides being used at
home for the rites Of Isis and Scraps, was
imported into Greece and Rome after the
conquest Of Egypt. 1t then became the
favorite perfume among the luxurious
Greeks and Romans, who were anolntcd
with ''kyphi' after the bath. and we're

cision of the secretary of the interior in
the Johanna Summerville case, affect.
ing the decision Of the commissioner Of
the general land office, c~anceling the
woman's presumption entry on the
ground that she had married before
she had completed il, has caused 10
little discussion among the land law
yers there as to the justice and equity
of the case. The woman took up land
under prescription entry In the Fargo
land district, complying with the law
strictly in every particular so com
pletely that the local land Office and
special agents announced themselves
a%bundantly satisfied. She had, how
ever, two weeks previous to making
her f;al proof, married, and on this
ground her proof was rejected. An
appeal to the commissioner did not
help her case, and she appealed to
the secre tary of the interior, who
decided the case against her, basing
his decision upon the precedent 10 the
Rosanna Kennedy case, decided by
Secretary Kirkwood, April -, 1881.
In this case 1t was held that q woman
lost her identity in marrying and
could not complete her presumption
entry because she was not one of the
three persons described by the pre-
emption law, that is, the head of a
family, a widow, or a single person.
In the Maria Goode case, decided last
fall. 1t was neld by the secretary, over
ruling the commissioner, that marry
ing did not affect n woman's home
stead rights; that IL she married the
next day after making her homestead,
entry she vas still entitled To her
land, as she had acquired title ty such
entry, but it now holds differently in
